The Dumbo 75th Anniversary Collection bag set will also be released on Tsum Tsum Tuesday. Set includes: Dumbo carrier bag with Dumbo’s mother-Mrs. Jumbo, Timothy Mouse, baby Dumbo and Clown Dumbo.

It also looks like this year’s Tsum Tsum Subscription Program is ending for the year and the final box will be in October. The program will resume again in January 2017.

The September Tsum Tsum Subscription Box was a good one and I was right on my guess. Beauty and the Beast – mini Belle in her red hooded-cape with a small Beast in his blue cape. Disney had to release something related to Beauty and the Beast for the 25th Anniversary. I’m not sure what they plan to release for the final box in October, since they had already released a Dumbo one with Timothy Mouse. Maybe A Nightmare Before Christmas one?

Hot Topic is now carrying Tsum Tsums in their stores and online. These are previously released mini Tsum Tsum characters from different collections. Some of them are very recent releases and some have not been available for about a year.

For some reason these two are not online but I saw them in a couple of the retail store locations:
• Cruella de Vil
• Dalmation

A Sharon Carter (Agent 13) and Winter Soldier Tsum Tsum were released on September 13. Sharon Carter is still available but the Winter Soldier is no longer on the site, so I’m guessing they may have sold out.

I’ve seen some pretty interesting Tsum Tsum leaks that might be released: Finding Nemo (Darla and Gill), Marvel (Ms. Marvel – Kamala Khan, Daredevil, Ghost Rider, Doctor Strange), Moana (Pua), Sleeping Beauty (Flora), Beauty and the Beast (Human Beast), and some from a 25-piece Tsum Tsum Advent Calendar set. TheHong Kong Tsum Tsum Fun Fair have just been released in Disney Shanghai, George Sanderson has been added to the Monsters Inc. Tokyo Disney Store release along with the Halloween Tsum Tsum in October and a Marvel x Monster Strike box set coming out in Japan that month too.

The Marvel Tsum Tsum mobile game has launched. The game play is the same but a little different from the Disney version. You still connect and chain your Tsum Tsum, each character has a special skill and there are challenges.

Play as one of Marvel’s Avengers, Spider-Man, Agent Carter or a super-villain like Loki, Green Goblin and others. Characters that have just been added are: The Guardian of the Galaxy, Agent 13 (Sharon Carter) and Black Panther.

Travel to different planets and complete missions to progress through the game. Each planet is a stage with different missions within them. Some are regular missions, others are Battle missions. In the Battles you have to defeat the super-villain before the time runs out.

Create Combos by continuously linking 3 or more Tsum Tsum. Activate skills and specials to eliminate more Tsum Tsum or take down the super villain Charge your Skill Gauge by clearing the Tsum Tsum character you are playing as. Once the gauge is filled, tap it to activate the Skill. Level up Skills to make them stronger. Connect 7 or more Tsum Tsum to create a Special Bomb. Some of these Bombs will explode or add extra time when tapped on. Clearing a lot of Tsum Tsum will fill the Mega Charge Meter and activate the Mega Bonus when full. During that time your score will get an added boost and combo time is infinite.

Put together a team of 3 Tsum Tsum to help you get through levels and battles. The leader’s Skill and Ability can be used during the game, while your support team’s Ability can activate during a game. The Tsum Tsum used in your team will always appear in your game.

You can use Boosters to help you through levels and collect Iso-8 Crystals to level your Tsum Tsum up.

Play alone or play Co-op. In Co-op the villain will jump from screen to screen, so you can take them on together. But be careful, the HP bar is shared by both players and if it reaches zero, then both players loose.
